Danielle Elsener
"I am a zero waste designer. I developed a complete zero-waste design system to solve industry problems through communication, sharing, and play which recently won the international Evian award. I have dedicated my life's work to proving zero-waste as a valid and robust design model and for over a decade, I have learned from industry, educational institutions, and self-run initiatives to understand how best to do this. What began as a love for puzzle solving through zero-waste pattern-making, became a way to fix the fashion industry’s biggest problem.
My work revolves around the notion of 'Circling the Square,' to solve the impossible problem of sustainability within the fashion industry. It focuses on using a bold graphic language, colour theory, and pattern cutting manipulation to tell the story of its Zero Waste Design."
